Tar Smoke for Diphtheria.

While it seems as though there was
nothing that would stay the progress
of malignant diphtheria, the following
remedy, which we have before printed,
may be valuable in some cases. 1t can
hardly do harm:
Ruth Lock wood, the nine year old
child of Thomas, IA ccmpOsitor in the
New York Times office, became viO-
lently i'll with diphtheria on Tuesday
night. She was so weak that it was
deemed dangerous to try tracheOtOmy
or cutting open the windpipe. On
Thursday DIR. Nichols, of III West
Washington place, who was attend
ing her, received a copy of the Paris
Figaro, which contained "A report made
to the French academy of medicine by
DR.. Delthil, who said that the vapOrs
of liquid tar and turpentine would dis
solve the fibrinous exudations which
choke up the throat in Group and diph-
liberia. DR.. Delthirs process was de-
seribed. He pOurs equal parts of tur-
pentine and liquid tar into tin pan or
cup and sets fire to the mixture A
dense resinOus smoke arises, which OBJ
scures the air of the room. "The pa
tient," DR.. Delthil says, immediately
seems to experience relief; the chok-
ing and rattle stops; the patient falls
into slumber and seems to inhale the
smoke with pleasure. The fibrinous
membrane soon becomes detached, and
the patient coughs up micrObicides.
These, when caught in a glass, may be
seen to dissolve in the smoke. In the
course of three days afterward the pa
tient entirely RECEIVERS" DIR. Nichols
tried this treatment with little Ruth
Lockwood. She was lying gasping for
breath when he visited her First
pouring about two tablespoonfuls of
liquified tar on an iron pan, he poured
as much turpentine over it and set it
on fire. The rich, resinous smoke
which rose to the ceiling was by DO
means unpleasant. AS it filled the
room the child's breathing became ma
tural, and as the smoke grew dense she
fell asleep, with the results as above.

Gus evening to prancing around the
city trying to find some caravanSary
where he could get sleeping
accommodations and without avail. He
claimed that he went to the Clarendon
and was told that they had no vacant
rooms. About 10 O'clock he returned,
and seating himself in the Office waited
an hour, during which time he saw
three men walk up to the register,
scratch down their names and get rooms.
This stirred his blood, giving him the
impression that he was being discrimi-
mated against on the strength Of color,
asked for a room. He was in
formed that there were no vacant
rooms in the house, and referring to the
three names that had been written on
the register since he applied for room,
he gently Informed the night clerk that
he was liar. This seemed to surprise
that gentleman, for he promptly ordered
MIR. Hazel outside. and told him that
there were no rooms in the house for
such as he.
Hazel said he next tried the Astoria
hotel and was told that there We're no

told Mr.. Baugh that he would suit him

didn't scare worth cent, and if he
didn't hustle out he would call the patrol
wagon and have him arrested. Hazel
told him to dO so and he did. Hazel
slept i'll the police station Friday night,
and yesterday morning was arraigned
before Judge Cory, who, upon hearing
his story. dismissed him. Hazel says
the law is on his side and he proposes
to see if the fact that he is a colorad cit
iZen bars him out of establishments for
the accommodation of the public. He
consulted Senator Davis regarding the
matter, and says he will bring suit

ROTUNDA CHiT-CHAT.
Men Who Visited St. Paul Yester-
day and What They Said.


A man measuring six feet in his socks
and about three feet across his shout
derS, wearing a broad-brimmed hat of
felt and Mother Hubbard coat of the
Prince Albert persuasion, walked up
the stairs to the dining room in the Mer-
chants yesterday noon, followed by
short nan with iron-gray hair and
Langtry smile. The former was Abe
Boynton. or Honest Abe" as he is bet
ter known around LennoX, Oak, where
he halls from. The small man was n.
l.. Smith, the long-range editor of the
Huron Times, and they are both men,
bers of the Dakota board of railroad
commissioners, appointed by Coy.
UP to a Third street clothing store and
bought him a So white hat of the Derby
style, to pay Off a bet that he had
made with the lucky editor.
They came in on the morning
train from the nGrth and consulted with
the Minnesota railroad commissioners
regarding the grain and warehouse reg
ulatious Of this state The law of Da-
kOta provides that the railroad commits
sieners of that territory shall have
authority to fix the grades, but they
must conform to those established by
the Minnesota commissioners. Boynton
said he had hard fight to stand against
GriggS and Smith in the voting for a Sec
rotary. The whole fight was to get the
headquarters of the Board away from
Bismarck, but he won finally, after Gov
Church had read the riot act to Smith
and got him Strengthened out. Smith is
a Republican, and naturally started out
to kick over the traces. GriggS did not
visit the city on account of personal
business he had to attend to in Grand
Forks. The commissioners say that the
prospects for big crop throughout the
territory were never brighter than
now. There has been plenty of
r rain no especially, rno in the south
left in the afternoon for Southern Da,
kota over the Hastings & Dakota road.
They will probably visit Huron before
returning to Bismarck, where their next
meeting will be held.
